Description:

17th National Indian Nations Conference – Save the DateThe Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is pleased to announce the 17th National Indian Nations: Justice for Victims of Crime Conference is tentatively scheduled for March 22–25, 2022, on the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Reservation in California. This conference will focus on the unique needs of American Indian and Alaska Native crime victims and provide training for victim service providers; law enforcement officials; prosecutors; judges; medical and mental health professionals; social workers; and victim advocates at the tribal, federal, state, and local levels. OVC anticipates opening registration later this year. Additional details are available on the conference website, but if you have questions, please email IndianNations2022@saxmanone.com.The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI)has had the honor of coordinating last nine National Indian Nations Conferences(www.OVCINC.org) whichaddress the unique needs of crime victims/survivors in Indian Country. Onbehalf of the TLPI Board of Directors and TLPI staff, we would like to thankthe Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) for sponsoring these importantconferences and to thank all of the participants, presenters, scholarshiprecipients and volunteers that we have been privileged to work with over thecourse of the last twenty years. Please note that previous conference materialscan be found at www.ovcinc.org/prior-conferences.Unfortunately,TLPI will not be coordinating the next National Indian Nations Conference. Thiswas a difficult decision for TLPI and we came to it reluctantly, after muchdeliberation. Many factors came into play in our decision. The most crucialfactor, however, has been the increasing bureaucratic challenges around theonerous conference approval process, especially the increasing restrictions onfood and beverage – aspects of deep importance to bringing Native peopletogether in respectful, healthy, healing and culturally appropriate way. Withevery conference delivery, we have strived to deliver a better, improvedexperience for the participants. We have concluded, however, that theincreasingly challenging conference approval process substantially limits ourability to even meet (let alone exceed) the high standards set in previousconferences.
